Nothing to worry

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
I have reviewed your report.
Simple breast cyst is nothing to worry about.
It can be due to old milk collection, trauma or simple degenerative cyst.
It needs regular follow up for size and nature changes every 6 monthly.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
